What Is a Message Endpoint in Route Management?

A message endpoint refers to a party that sends or receives a message. It can be an end device or a cloud service.

IEF provides the following default message endpoints:

  • SystemEventBus: MQTT broker on an edge node, which can communicate with other endpoints on behalf of the edge node. It can function as a source endpoint to send data to the cloud, or as a destination endpoint to receive messages from the cloud. MQTT topics on the edge node are used as endpoint resources of the MQTT broker.
  • SystemREST: a REST gateway interface in the cloud. It can function as a source endpoint to send REST requests to the edge. REST request paths are used as endpoint resources of SystemREST.
